'The 5ubdivis~on meets all appl~cable Zon1ng and General Plan requirements. The Tentatlve Map has been approved by the City Englneer and a detailed set of required public lm- provements has been speclfied by the Department of General Services. The Park1ng and Trafflc Eng~neer and Planning Dlvis10n staff sup- port the proposed cul-de-sac deslgn as opposed to a through street in order to prevent the further intrus~on of through traf- f~c on Ozone Avenue as it extends east from Llncoln Boulevard. In addition, a cul-de-sac offers a preferred resldential environ- ment in terms of reduced traffic noise, pedestrlan safety, ne1gh- borhood ldentity and security. A pedestrian access way at the west end of the cul-de-sac 15 not reconunended. pedestrian access would requ~re that a ramp be con- structed in the lntersectlon of Ozone Avenue a:J.d Glen Court. Such a ramp would lnterfere wlth veh~cular trafflc. The sub- divider opposes access at the west end of the proJect due to con- cerns about maintaining prlvacy and secur~ty on the new street.

APPROVED BY: CITY OF SANTA MONICA, ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE DATE: SEPTEMBER, 1985 . ! . ~\ ~ ~ " ~, , Env~ronmental and Ne~qhborhood Settinq . . The proposed proJect is located in the Ocean Park section of Santa Mon~ca, two blocks east of LJ.ncoln Boulevard and J.mmedJ.ately north of the CJ.ty of Los Angeles corporate lJ.m~ts. The proJ ect s~te, currently a vacated nursery, J.5 not wJ.th~n the Coastal Zone and has no ocean or unique scenlC vJ.ews. The surrounding property 1S completely developed, both in Santa Monica and in the C~ty of Los Angeles. Detached s1ngle fam~ly res~dences surround the property on all s~des. Strlp commerc~al uses are located to the west along LJ.ncoln Boulevard. The Penmar Golf Course 1.5 located one block east of the proJect site. Maps 1 and 2 show the proJects regJ.onal and subreglonal settlng. ProJect Descr~ptlon The proJect lnvolves the subdJ.vlsion of a 83,000 square foot parcel (approxJ.mately 1.88 acres) J.nto twelve sJ.ngle fam1ly detatched resldent~al lots. If approved, Tentat1ve Tract 43805 would be developed at 1220 Marlne Street. The zonlng of the proJect slte 1S "R1", One-Family Res~dent~al D~strJ.ct. Development of the proposed proJect would requlre the extenslon of Ozone Avenue and improvements which presently termJ.nate approxJ.mately 90 feet west of Frederick Street. Ozone Avenue would be cul-de-saced approxlmately 286 feet westerly of J.ts present termJ.nus. S~te Descriptlon The 1 . 88 acre site is presently occupled by vacated structures, grounds, and . build~ngs of a wholesale nursery. Access to each of the proposed homeS.1tes 1 , / >., ~ ~ 1 " , " . will be available from Ozone Avenue whl.ch also serves four eXl.stl.ng homes immediately west of Frederick Street. Additionally, access from an alley which represents the extension of Dewey Street may be provl.ded to lots 7 through 12. This alley located along the southern edge of the Sl.te is within the CJ.ty of Los Angeles. The parcel J.S situated adJacent to an establJ.shed, detached sl.ngle famJ.ly residentJ.al area. Proposed ProJect The proposed proJect would suhdl.v1.de the 1.88 acre S1.te J.nto twelve sJ.ngle faml.ly lots, each wl.th a minlmum lot Slze of 5,000 square feet. As part of the subdlvJ.sion process Ozone Street would be extended westerly 286 feet to form a cul-de-sac. All Cl.ty l.mprovements l.ncludl.ng underground utlll.ty Il.nes and servlces would also be extended westerly l.nto the proJect area. A total of S1X improved lots would be developed north and SlX south of the extended Ozone Avenue. It has not been determlned whether the appllcant wl.ll develop or sell the twelve lots. probably a camhl.nation of these two technlque5 w1.ll be used to eventually dl.spose of all lots. Envl.ronmental Impacts The follawl.ng Environmental Impacts sectlon addresses the potentl.al 1.mpacts whJ.ch may arl.se from the development of the proposed proJect, as 1dentlfl.ed on the Inl.tl.al Study checklist. Each env1ronmental concern 1.5 first revlewed l.n accord with the City's Inl.tl.al Study checkll.st. A prell.ml.nary response is . followed by addl.t1.onal environmental l.nformation and a conclusl.on. . 2 '/ , .\ ~ ~ , \ . .~ ., Item lb. Earth. Question: W~ll the proposal result in d~sruptions, ~isplacements, compaction or overcover1ng of the 50111 Response: Maybe. The site 1.5 relat1vely flat with a maX1murn change of elevat~on of e1ght feet from the northwester corner of the proJect s1te to the southeast. The elevat10n change occurs over a d~agonal distance of 412 feet across the site for a slope of 1.9 percent. Grad1.ng act1v~t~es \41.11 occur over a per~od of approx1.mately two weeks after demolition and removal of eX1sting structures. Approx~mately 5,000 cub1.c yards of mater1al w~ll be moved as part of Tentat1ve Tract No. 43805. A maJ or portJ..on of th1S grad~ng wJ..ll he needed to extend Ozone Street ~nto the parcel. Grad~ng actl.V1t1es w1ll be balanced on the S1te and no exportat~on or llIlportat~on of graded material w~ll occur. Upon completl.on of grad1ng activl.t1es, approx1mately one th~rd of lots 7 through 12 w1ll be graded to slope southerly toward the C~ty of Los Angeles alley (see ridge 1 lone on TT No. 43805 map). Two th~rds of lots 7 through 12 and all of lots 1 through 6 will be graded to slope northerly and southerly respect~vely toward extended Ozone Avenue. All grading will be completed 1n accord wl.th the C~ty of Santa Mon~ca requirements. No sign1f1cant ~pacts wl.ll occur. . Item 3b. Water. W~ll the proposal. resul.t l.n: Chan';Jes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff? Approx~roately 26,680 square feet, 32 percent of the sl.te, is currently paved or ~s covered by structures (greenhouses, storage sheds, a trailer). All of . 3 - ---~-- / (' . ~ . . \ , " " the ex~st~ng coverage will be removed. New lot coverage 1n the form of a c1ty street, sidewalks and home sites w1l1 be added. Following proJect completion, approxJ.mately 41.3 percent of the total site area will he covered. ThJ.s coverage J.s calculated as follows: ""0 street extens10n - B,064 square feet, cul-de-sac (J.ncludJ.ng sJ.dewalk) - 4,072 square feet 0 north/south SJ.dewalks - 1,784 square feet 0 pad areas (allowJ.ng for approxJ.mately 1,700 square feet per pad for each of the 12 pads - 20,400 square feet Total covered area - 34,320 square feet or 41.3 percent of total s1te area. In conclusJ.on, development of the proposed sJ.te will have an 1ncremental (7,640 square teet) but ins~gn1ficant 1ncrease 1n paved surfaces and resultant proJect runoff. Where sJ.te drainage presently occurs 1n a general northwest to southeasterly direction, sJ.te gr adJ.ng will redJ.rect draJ.nage patterns toward Ozone Street and the Alley (for a dJ.sCUSSJ.on of the gradJ.ng changes, refer to response to 1b. Earth. Item 8a. Noise. Quest1on: W1l1 the proposal result in sign1f1cant J.ncreases in eX1st1n9 n01se levels? Response: Maybe. . 4 ------ -- / . ~ (' , " , . Dur~ng demol~tion; grading, site preparat~on; and house construct~on; var~ous types of construction and equipment/veh~cles will be used on the s~te. A lJ.st of various types of equipment generally used is indicated in accompanYJ.ng F~gure 1. The most prominent of these will be a dozer, compactor, wheeled loader; grader; and a water truck. All work will be carried out in accord with the C~ty of Santa Mon~ca requ~rements which l~m.l. t the hours of construct~on act~vJ.tJ.es to daylJ.ght hours (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday) . Construction act~vity, whJ..ch will result J.n sporatJ..c and intermJ.ttant hJ.gh no~se levels affectJ.ng residents of the surround1ng neJ..ghhorhood, wJ..ll occur as a result of the followJ..ng sequence: demol~t~on of eXJ..stJ.ng structures and removal of mater~al from the s~te---1 week, rough gradJ.ng---2 weeks, site preparat~on---3 months; and house construct~on---7 months on the average (note: some houses will be constructed concurrently and some lot sales for future development w~ll also occur). In conclusJ.on, while demolJ..t10n; rough grading; sJ.te preparat~on; and house construct~on WJ.ll occur durJ..ng a m~nJ.mum one-year perJ.od, these no~se levels wJ.ll be of short-term durat~on lIlitJ..gated to an J.nsJ.gnJ.fJ.cant level by adherance to the CJ.ty of Santa Mon2ca requ~rements. Item 9a. L2ght and Glare. QUest~on: W2ll the proposal produce si(]!nf~cant new li~ht or 9lare from street li9hts or other sources? Response: Maybe. The sJ..te 25 currently dark during the evening hours with the exceptJ.on of secur2ty l2ght2ng. When the proJect is fully developed there will he an - 5 - - - - - It ~ ~ , , , . . incremental increase 1n l1ghtl.ng due to the introduction of street lighting, home and yard lighting. Three new street light standards will be added along the extension of Ozone Avenue in the followl.ng locations: southeast corner of lot 1, northwest corner of lot 10, and northern part of lot 7. All of these light standards wl.ll be placed adJacent to Ozone Avenue. In conclusion, whl.le there w1ll be an 1ncremental increase 1n light1ng on the site due to the l.ntroduction of street lightl.ng, home and yard light1ng, thl.s increase in l1ght1ng w1ll resemble that Wh1Ch eXl.sts 1n the surroundJ..ng area. Ll.ght and glare impacts w1ll be insl.gnif1cant. Item 13b Population. Questl.on: W1ll the proposal result 1n the relocat1on or dislocat1on of employment or busl.nesses? Response: Maybe. For the last 57 years the s1te has heen known as the Fukahara Nursery, a wholesale bUS1ness enterprise. On June 20th, 1985 the nursery moved from Santa Monl-ca to 4216 3/4 Glencoe Avenue 1n Venice and 1S now known as the Sunshine Nursery. Except for residual bUl.ldl.ngs and structures, the S1te of the proposed proJect is vacant and no discont1nuance of bus1ness will occur. Impacts, therefore, are ins1gn~fl.cant. Item 14a Land Use. Question: W1ll the proposal result in a substantial alterat10n of the present or planned land use of an area? . Response: Maybe. 6 - --- ~ ~ ~ ' \ , , . . The sitels land use will change from a vacated nursery to a residential subdivis~on which will eventually contain 12 single-family detatched - res~dences. The City. s adopted Land Use and C~rculatl.on Plan des1.gnates the site and the adjacent street system accord1.ngly: single-fam~ly hous~ng (Land Use f--Marl.ne street, which 1.5 located approx1.mately 73 feet north of the Sl.te is designated as a feeder street (C~rculation) . The proposed parcel subdJ..visl.on and eventual construction of 12 sl.ngle-fanuly detatched houses conforms to the Land Use component of the Plan. Since Ozone Street w~ll become a cul-de-sac, proJect development rel.nforces the importance of Marl.ne Street as a feeder street 1.n the c~ty cl.rculatl.on system. The potentl.al for Ozone Street to he constructed from Frederl.ck Street to Glencoe Court at a later date ~s ell.m1nated. Thus, the pos 5 l.bl. 1 l.ty of Ozone funct~oning as a feeder street, partlocularly Wloth respect to the prospect of traffl.c enter long and crossl.ng L~ncoln Boulevard is reduced. In conclusloon, the proJect implements both the Land Use and Cl.rculatl.on components of the C1.ty.s General Plan and no sl.gnif1.cant 1.mpacts to e1.ther would occur. Regard1ng conformance to the City.s Zoning Regulations, wlothl.n Sect loon 9106A "R1" One-Faml.ly Resl.dentl.al Dl.str~ct Regulatl.ons liml.t uses wl.thin the proJect area to one-family dwell~ngs. Section 9106B, Property Development Standards, ll.m~ts the lot areas in the R1 zone to a JlUn:unum of 5,000 square feet. Lot d1.mens~ons are also liMited to a min1mum w1.dth of SO feet and a m~nl.mum depth of 100 feet. The smallest lot wi thin the proJect would be Lot 5 w1.th 5,100 square feet. All lots withlon the development have approximately 50 foot w~dths. The mlonimum length of any of the proJects s~de lot l~nes is 100 feet - 1 - ---- -- - . tt ~ , , . . ' (see the easterly lot l1ne for Lot 6). In conclus~on, the proJect conforms to the City's Zoning Reulations and no significant impacts would occur. Item 14b. Land Use. Question: W~ll the proJ?osal result ~n demolit~on, relocat10n, or remodel~n9" of res~dent~al, commercial or ~ndustr~al build1ngs or other facilities? Response: Maybe. Project development w~ll result ~n the removal of bU2ld~ngs wh1ch for 57 years have been used as a wholesale nursery. S1nce the nursery has already moved to Venice, no d2scont2nuation of serV2ce to customers w2ll occur. No s1gn2f2cant 1mpacts w111 occur. Item 16a,b,c,d,and e. Util2t1es. Quest1on: W~ll the proposal result 1n a need for new systems, or substant1al alterat10ns to the the follow1n9" ut1lit1es?: Power or natural gas?, -cornmun~cat~ons systems?, water?, sewer or sept1c tanks?, storm water dra1nage? Response: Maybe. In general all utilities exist adJacent to the Sl.te wl.thin the Ozone Avenue right-of-way and will be extended to serv~ce each of the proJect homesl.tes. This includes electr~cal power, natural gas, telephone, water tan 8" water main will be )o1ned wlth an eXlstlng maln located at the 1ntersect1on of Glenn Court and Ozone Avenue) , san1tary sewers (an B" sewer ma1n extens1on) and storm water drainage which wl.ll, after development, flow easterly into an . 8 - - - . t' t' . . . . . existing Ozone Avenue storm drain and then southerly into a Frederick Street drain. Approximately one/third of lots 7 through 12 will drain southerly to the Los Angeles alley (Dewey Street Extension) and thence to a catch basin located at the easterly terminus of the alley. While the proJect will result in an incremental increase in the consumption of utilities and runoff will be . , increased slightly due to additional site coverage, no significant impact on the provision of utilities is foreseen. Item 17d. Right of way. Question: Will the proposal result in creation o~ abrupt grade d~fferent~al between public and private property? Response: Maybe. Construction of the extension of Ozone Avenue through the site will result 1n a maximum potential grade differential. of 2 feet between the City's sidewalk and the westerly l1m~ts of the tract. The horizontal difference between these two locat~ons is 14 feet, thus a slanted slope bank of 14.3 percent will be created. S1nce no road or pedestr1an connect10n will be provided from the ex~sting Ozone Avenue/Glenn Court intersection through the proposed proJect, no circulation impact will occur. A barrier to through movement will also be installed. Th1S consists of the development of a 6 foot high block wall along .- the southwesterly tract boundary. At the conclusion of development of houses on Lots 6 and 7, the intervening slope bank will l1kely be landscaped. In conclusion, the differential of 2 feet within a d1stance of 14 feet in the western part of the project area will have no impact on circulation or aesthetic/visual considerations. . , . ~ l' , . Item 1Bd Transportation/Circulation, Question: W.lll the proposal result in: Alterations to present patterns of circulation or movement of peopl_e and/or l]oods? Response: Yes. Item 18f. Questl.on: ~l.ll the proposal result in 1ncrease in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, b.lcyc11sts or pedestr1ans? Response: Maybe. On the basJ.s of a traffl.c study prepared for the proposed proJect, "the proposed proJect would not have any impact on local streets and h.lghways, or at any of the local l.ntersect.lons. ~he proJect generated traff.lc, expected to be 120 vpd (veh.lcles per day) , can easl.ly be acconunodated by the eXl.st.l.ng facil1.tl.es w~th no add.lt1onal improvements 4 II (See attached letter by Kaku Associates to James ~rby, September 4, 1985.) Item 1ge and f Questl.on: Will th~. proposal have a sign.lf.lc?nt, ef~ect upon, or result in a need for new or altered <;Jovernmental serV.l.ces l.n any of the fol1owl..nc;J areas: ma1.ntenance of ~ubhc facl..l1.ties, includ1.n9 roads? Other <;Jovenmental serv.lces? Response: Maybe. The proposed proJect wl.ll result l.n an incremental increase in c1ty dedicated . r~ghts-of-way and consequently maintenance of an extended Ozone Avenue. In 10 , " . ce ~ \ . . . addition, the growth of street trees located every 40 feet on both the north . and south sides of Ozone Avenue will also require addit~onal maJ.ntenance. Both of these increases are, however, consl.dered to he insignifl.cant. Regarding the CJ.ty of Los Angeles alley to the south, improvements have not at present been determJ.ned. Item 22a Cultural Resources QuestJ.on: Wl.Il the .flroposal result in the alteratl.on of or the destructl..on of a preh1stoTl.C or hl.stOTJ.C archaeological site. Response: Maybe. An archJ.val search and an in-fl.eld survey has been completed by a qualifJ.ed archaeologJ.st. Results of thLs research l.ndl.cates that the proJect w1.11 have no adverse impact on any known h~storical or archaeological resources (see An ArchaeologJ.cal Assessment of TentatJ.ve Tract No. 43805, Santa MonJ.ca, Los Angeles County, Californl.a, September, 1985). Item 23d. Aesthetl.cs. Question: Wl.ll the proposed pro~ect result in any substantl.al ne9ative aesthetic effect? Response: Maybe. From street level, vJ.ews inwardly toward the proJect sJ.te are presently restricted by walls and structures whJ.ch frame the periphery of the parcel. These views will be altered as the old walls and structures are removed to be replaced by a new wall along the southwesterly edge of the site, an improved - 1 1 , . ~ ~ 1 . . street and twelve houses. Views from some of the adJacent res~dences into and over the site (particularly from second story w~ndows) w~l1 change. Furthermore, it is possible that some of the proJect's res~dents may experience l~mited views from second story windows of nearby Penmar Golf Course which is located one block east of the s~te. In e~ther case, 1ns:ignif~cant v~ew ~mpacts w11l occur. Item 24c. Quest1on: W~ll the proposal have sl.gTuf1cant effects on the proJect nei9hborhood? . Response: Maybe. The proJect w~ll alter the present site from l.ts vacated nursery status to a developed res~dent1al subdivl.s1on. As a result of proJect development, there will be an :incremental, hut 1ns1gn~ficant :increase 1n the demand for all types of C1ty utilit:ies and serV1ces. The proJect will have 1nS1gn1f1cant :impacts on all other concerns addressed in _ this Init1al Study.
